As an accompanist I never want my singer to glance over to me to begin. As a singer I never do that myself. Typically, a singer will be glancing down to think of character, etc., whatever and then should raise their head which is the accompanist's signal to begin the intro.

Why is everyone making a big deal about looking at the accompanist? Who cares? It didn't change the song at all for me.

@choirman41 amen!

Actually... what I've always done (as the singer) is when I'm ready, I close my eyes, look down for a moment, and when I look up my accompanist starts. It works really well and I've never had a judge comment on it being incorrect.

I'm singing this song for my high school recital. I love singing this song.
Nice job.
I made a video of myself =]

I'm a contralto and I sang this song as well in a recent performance. I loved performing this piece....

I disagree about glancing at the accompanist....I think it is mandatory as you never know EXACTLY when you will (or the audience) is read.

It depends how well you know your accompanist and how long you have been working together .... I actually trained as a concert pianist and then went into accompanying before starting to sing 4 years ago. One friend, a professional soprano, never needed to look at me when I had an intro before her entrance. We worked together so much that we .... just knew .... good comment though, I agree with you when it comes to people who haven't worked together much!!!

Awsome! I have to sing the same piece for my own solo for the local school solo competition. I hope I do as well as you did. Too bad I am a contralto and have trouble with those high E flats! >< Stupid high school choral directior!

Actually, this piece really is for a contralto as it is supposed to be the grandmother singing to the baby that is going to die .... a very sad and haunting melody. For the high notes I find that almost "crying" them and aiming the sound directly behind the nose really helps .... Good luck!! I always wished that I was a contralto .... such a rare and beautiful voice, lucky you!!!!
